The Word of Promise

I recently became an official book reviewer for Thomas Nelson Publishing. In exchange for writing a review (doesn't have to be positive, just honest...which I'm really good at!), I get a free copy of whatever book I am reviewing.http://brb.thomasnelson.com/ For someone who loves to read, this is a great deal!
The first book I selected for review was actually not a book at all, it was an audio version of the New Testament - The Word of Promise: Next Generation.
I was a little concerned at first, because I've actually listened to other audio versions of the Bible and haven't really enjoyed them as much as reading. But this one was different. Maybe because the readers are all teenagers/young adults, or maybe all of the additional enhanced sound effects that made each chapter come to life...I really enjoyed this one.
This is great to listen to in the car and is also great to listen to the stories of the Bible with Nicolas (who just turned 6), as it seems the Bible stories are much more exciting when read by the cast of High School Musical and Hannah Montana than when he hears them read by me.
This product comes on 3 CD's, so you don't have 50 discs to keep up with, and also has a DVD that shows some behind the scenes stuff from the recording of the project. There is also a 40 Day Listening plan that you can follow to make it thru the entire New Testament in 40 days...which is quite cool!
